Cuban Sodas and Drinks in Miami

Cuban and classic sodas: Materva, Jupiña, Ironbeer and the usual suspects.

The Cuban sodas you have to carry — Materva, Ironbeer and Jupiña — plus the usual classics and guava and mango juice in glass bottles. All at $1.99. It is what rounds off the pizza, and for a lot of people in Miami it is the one place they get to drink a cold Ironbeer again.

The three Cuban sodas

Materva is the yerba mate one, sweet with a herbal edge that tastes like nothing else; it is what people who have not had one in years come asking for. Ironbeer is the Cuban cola, spicier than the American ones. And Jupiña is the pineapple one, the sweetest of the three and usually the kids’ pick. All three are historic brands still bottled in Miami since the exile.

Juices and the classics

The guava and mango juices come in glass bottles, which is how they taste best. And for anyone who would rather stick to what they know there is Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Zero, Pepsi, Sprite, Fanta and water. Everything costs the same, $1.99, so it comes down to taste.

What to drink with what

With a savoury pizza — pepperoni, chorizo, meat lover — Jupiña makes a good contrast because it is the sweetest. With the spaghetti or the lasagna, Ironbeer holds up better against the dish, being spicier. Materva is the one that usually goes with dessert, or on its own in the afternoon. And if you are having an ice cream shake you do not need a drink: they are 16 ounces and fill you up on their own.
